Models and working to scale

The main aim of creating a model is to define all the scene changes and to predict what the sight lines will be like. It is also used to design and experiment with different ideas and to find out where the actors will be place. We constructed the model by making small models of the props using card board and images of 1950s New York as the back ground. The equipment we used to build the scale model of the stage were scissors, card board, colour photocopies, a ruler for the measurements and craft knives. For theatre the scale of the model is usually 1:25. The method I used to experiment with 1950s New York was to find images of New York that resembled the kind we saw in the movie.
